Moving From USA Overseas... Looking For Advice re: Electrical Service and Gear
hello all,
i'm moving from the USA to Vietnam (220V / 50 hz) and am looking for some advice on the best and safest way to hook up my system out there. the area i'm moving to - district 2 in ho chi minh city - apparently has power outages monthly. any advice on safely running my gear out there would be appreciated.
as you can see, i have no idea what's the best and safest way to run USA spec equipment in Vietnam and would appreciate all inputs and recommendations.
thanks!
Scott

- is it better to have my gear converted to 220V, or simply use a 220V - 120V step down transformer?
- should i use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS / battery backup) or is a good surge protector sufficient?
- is it possible to use a step down transformer in line with a UPS, ie, wall to UPS, UPS to transformer, transformer to gear?
as you can see, i have no idea what's the best and safest way to run USA spec equipment in Vietnam and would appreciate all inputs and recommendations.
thanks!
